We went to the Pearl yesterday afternoon around 4:00 pm. We did not see a Christmas Market. It was a pleasant walk over the bridge to get to the board walk surrounding the shopping center. There are golf carts available, if you do not wish to walk. Costa and Second Cup kiosks are open for business. The other stores in the shopping center are not yet open.

Around 5:00 pm (an hour later than scheduled), there were 2 members of Les Excentruiques walking around on stilts wearing beautifully lit costumes. Families were taking pictures with the performers.

If there were additional performers, we missed it. We left to dine at the Marriott and stayed to hear the choir perform numerous Christmas carols, which was delightful.
